The Man and the City - The Music Man - Netflix

The Music Man is a musical with book, music, and lyrics by Meredith
Willson, based on a story by Willson and Franklin Lacey. The plot
concerns con man Harold Hill, who poses as a boys' band organizer and
leader and sells band instruments and uniforms to naive Midwestern
townsfolk, promising to train the members of the new band. Harold is no
musician, however, and plans to skip town without giving any music
lessons. Prim librarian and piano teacher Marian sees through him, but
when Harold helps her younger brother overcome his lisp and social
awkwardness, Marian begins to fall in love. Harold risks being caught to
win her. In 1957, the show became a hit on Broadway, winning five Tony
Awards, including Best Musical, and running for 1,375 performances. The
cast album won the first Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album and
spent 245 weeks on the Billboard charts. The show's success led to
revivals, including a long-running 2000 Broadway revival, a popular 1962
film adaptation and a 2003 television adaptation. It is frequently
produced by both professional and amateur theater companies.
